The announcement, made via his Instagram account, stated, "I am calling it off. It was a wonderful journey." While Singh has not disclosed specific reasons for his decision, it is reported that he plans to complete his ongoing projects and explore independent music.

Singh, who rose to fame after participating in the reality show Fame Gurukul in 2005, became a household name with his hit song "Tum Hi Ho" from the film Aashiqui 2 in 2013.
